macberran 2 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Training one up,very obedient and willing, easiest off the four gundogs I've had, she also points and holds superbly. Shes also 14mnths and I won't rush things, she started gettin bored on dummy work so leaving that for a while. Very steady around rifle and gun though she can be a bit......female about things like my pigs. I'll wait for her too come into her self a bit more. So \i'm very pleased with her and keep reading the books , and keep going back too basics. Talk too Kiwi, I think he's got a couple Quote Link to post
jessdale 416 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 "Maplehaze" gwp`s were very good to watch at hpr field trials.The woman that bred them was from the midlands but now lives in scotland i believe Quote Link to post

Hi, I am training two at the moment for blood tracking deer a young bitch 5 months and a young dog just over a year, but they will be only used for deer , because you have let yours hunt freely you might have trouble trying to get him to stick to a blood trail of a wounded deer should you so wish , its just a thought . sounds like your enjoying him anyway they are great dogs best of luck with his traning Drover Quote Link to post

pointer 543 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 ive got an 8 month old gwp here which is starting to hunt cover and has killed a few rats.i just want him as general bushing/vermin dog. i expect to have alot of fun with him soon and ill use him more as a hound than a gundog.infact with his undocked tail and with him being allowed to give chase and bay at his quarry or scent he is just like a hound. i like the gwp,either pure or as a lurcher cross.
